have you ever loved someone so hard 
that your bones ache
this love is a 
tangible thing
it’s a piece 
that i have dug out 
from my breastbone
marrow that once nourished 
my body now
belongs to you
i ache in your absence
but i ache in your presence 
i have given 
everything there is to 
give;
i ask for nothing 
in return 
except 
don’t leave me
